If you plan to store it for a long period of time, wrap the cake in brandy or wine-soaked towels, or a double layer of plastic wrap then in aluminium foil.
Non-liquor soaked cakes may be kept in a cool place or in a refrigerator for short-term storage or a freezer for long storage.
Fruitcakes freeze very well; however, they must be aged for at least few weeks before freezing, as they do not mellow and ripen while they are frozen.
